PUBG x Jujutsu Kaisen: the surprise crossover arrives

Krafton has officially confirmed a new collaboration between PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS and Jujutsu Kaisen. A crossover that was neither teased nor particularly expected by the battle royale community: PUBG has been racking up manga/anime partnerships for years (Attack on Titan, Dragon Ball, to name but a few), but no serious leak had specifically announced this one before Krafton's official reveal.

The event ties into the Normal, Ranked, and Casual modes, with visible changes to the game's maps. For exact dates and full details on the mechanics and cosmetics being added, head over to our dedicated article on the event update.

What we still don't know: the exact price of the Crafter Pass, or whether Krafton is planning a second wave of content (other characters, additional skins) before the end-of-October closure. The game's previous crossovers have often followed this two-stage pattern.

PUBG's track record with anime collaborations - generally well received on the cosmetics side, more mixed when it comes to gameplay impact - suggests similar debates will crop up once the event goes live. Jujutsu Kaisen fans, for their part, will mostly remember the presence of Gojo and Sukuna as the headliners.
